My deepest condolences to you all. My mother, Margaret Akers asked about her often. My mother has Dementia and so I wanted you all to know that is why she hasn't been in touch. She loved and valued your Mother's friendship so much. My heart breaks for your loss and I pray you will find comfort in the arms of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Rupard family,
I am sorry to hear of Mrs. Jerry's passing. I have many great memories of my days at Bill and Jerry's and certainly of all of you. Mr. Bill and Mrs. Jerry helped get a bunch of us through college and taught us many life lessons along the way. As many do, I have lost touch with you over the years but I think of you often and certainly cherish my time around the family when everyone thought I was one of the boys. As I pray for each of you to have peace comfort, I will also thank the Lord for the impact Mrs. Jerry and your family had on me. God Bless you and I love you all!

Dear Rupard Family:
I don't know where to start! Jerry meant so much to our family! Especially our Mom or Ma as you all called her. I have known the Rupards since I was 13. My Mom worked for Bill and Jerry's Market for years, and they were like family to her. Jerry help me out so many times when I was a very young wife and Mother a very long time ago! I was very sad to hear of her passing.
